Park Tool Tire Patches



I finally repaired a bicycle flat tire today - one item I've used recently works well:  Park Tool Tire Patches.  They weren't super cheap at $1 each but the cool thing is that there is no little metal tube of glue - you know those tubes of stuff, as soon as the metal is punctured the clock is ticking and by the time you need a second patch, the contents of the tube have evaporated.  Also those old glue patches are iffy, sometimes they work, sometimes not.  The Park patches are easy, just sand the hole area with the included sandpaper, dust it off and then peel the backing and stick on the patch. Done.

The only bad thing is that the patches are in a little plastic box that is easily lost - I KNOW there's another one around here somewhere !

I've got to see if Park also makes bicycle tubes :)
